In this speech,SayyedAli Khameneicondemnedthe US-Saudi aggressionagainst Yemen, comparable in all respectsto the manyIsraeli aggressionagainstGaza: the samesavagerywhich,according to him,will lead to the same issue: a bitter failureforthe oppressors. Is theHouse of Saud, agentof Western imperialismin the Middle Eastever since its creation, just like Israel, coming to its end? Hopefully,aswe hopethat Yemenwill end up fullyjoining the Axisof Resistance.

As for the issue of Yemen, the Saudis have established a bad
tradition in the region. Of course, they have made a mistake. Today,
what the government of Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen is exactly the
same thing that the Zionists are doing in Gaza. This issue has two
aspects: one is that it is a genocidal crime. It is a crime that can be
pursued by international authorities. They kill children and destroy
houses, infrastructure and national sources of wealth. Well, this is a
big crime. This is one aspect of the issue.

The other aspect is that the Saudis will suffer a loss on this
matter. They will suffer a loss and they will not achieve any victory.
There is a very clear reason for this. The reason is that the military
capabilities of the Zionists are several times more than these so-and-so
Saudis. The Zionists are much stronger than them. The Zionists too had
military capabilities. And the camp against them was a small strip of
land, namely Gaza. But the camp against the Saudis is a country which is
comprised of tens of millions of people. It is a people and a vast
country that has stood up against the Saudis. If the Zionists can
achieve victory in Gaza, the Saudis too will achieve victory in Yemen.
Of course, even if the Zionists achieved victory, the chances for the
Saudis to achieve victory in Yemen would be zero. In the present time,
their chances are less than zero. So, they will definitely receive a
blow. Without a doubt, their noses will be rubbed in dirt.

We have many differences with the Saudis on different political
issues. But we always said that the Saudis behave with tact and gravity
in their foreign affairs. But they have lost this tact and gravity. A
few inexperienced youth have taken the affairs of that country in their
hands and they prefer savagery to tact and maintaining appearances. This
will be to their disadvantage. I warn the Saudis. Stop these criminal
actions are commiting in Yemen. This is not acceptable in the region.

Of course, America defends and supports them. This is in America's
nature. They support the oppressive side on all matters in the world.
They advocate for the bad person instead of advocating for the
oppressed. This is in their nature. They are acting in the same way on
the issue of Yemen, but they will receive a blow and they will be
defeated. Now, they are creating uproar by saying that Iran has
interfered in the affairs of Yemen. Of course, this is interference!
Just because we are saying a few words about this issue, we are
interfering! But the fact that their criminal warplanes have created an
insecure environment for Yemen is not interference. They are finding
silly excuses for their own interference. These excuses are not
acceptable in terms of international logic. Neither the people nor God
will accept such excuses. So, this is what they need to do: they should
stop committing such crimes and creating such disasters as soon as
possible.

The people of Yemen are a great, ancient and historic people. They
have a millennia-long history. These people have the capacity and
capability to decide the fate of their own government. Of course, some
people have tried to bring about a power vacuum and to create uproar.
They want to create the same events that have unfortunately taken place
in Libya - today, there is a very bad and regrettable situation in
Libya. But fortunately, they failed to do so. The religious and
enthusiastic youth of Yemen who believe in the bright path of the
Commander of the Faithful (peace and greetings be upon him) managed to
stand up against them. Shia, Sunni, Shafi'i, Zaidi, Hanafi and all types
have stood up against the enemy's invasion and by Allah's favor, they
will achieve victory. Victory belongs to the people.

Dear God, help our brothers - wherever they are in the world - to
achieve victory. Dear God, humiliate and defeat the enemies of Islam and
the enemies of Muslim peoples wherever they are in the world. Dear God,
familiarize us with our responsibilities. Dear God, enable us to carry
out our responsibilities. Associate the immaculate soul of our
magnanimous Imam (r.a.) with his saints. Associate the pure souls of
martyrs with the immaculate soul of Hazrat Siddiqat at-Tahirah (God's
greetings be upon her).

Excerpts from Gamal Abd al-Nasser’s speeches from 1962 to 1966, during the North Yemen War opposing the supporters of the deposed king Muhammad al-Badr, backed
by Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Britain, and the revolutionary Republicans, supported
by Nasser.

Today’s Egypt, vassal of the House of Saud and member of their coalition
against the current popular uprising in Yemen, suffocating Gaza together with Israel, fell into an unfathomable
abyss of servility and is very far from its glorious past...

The revolution began on September 26th (1962). As of September 27th,
the King Saud had a crisis of hysteria, and he began sending weapons to Najran
and Jizan (border cities). [...]

The Arab people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this Arab people has
responsibilities. They are called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but it is not
the people who chose this name. They are a people of a region of the Arabian
Peninsula which has always been called Najd and the Hijaz. But will the Arab people
agree to take up arms against the revolution? Perhaps those who will be
compelled to do so will take up arms. Perhaps mercenaries will take up arms. Perhaps
reactionaries will take up arms. Perhaps opportunistic people will take up
arms. But free men, will they take up arms? [...]

We have suffered losses, and I'm going to reveal the exact numbers. From day
one, until yesterday, our losses were 136 officers and soldiers. 21 officers
and 115 soldiers. Any of their shoes has more dignity than the crown of King
Saud [of Saudi Arabia] and King Hussein [of Jordan]. [...]

Our present Yemen Arab force will work to end the current agression, then it
will also work to end the bases of aggression. And by the bases of aggression,
I do not mean the Arab people in Saudi Arabia, but I mean the bases of
aggression by Saudi princes and kings against the Yemeni revolution and against
our Arab force. [...]

May 1st, 1966

Gamal Abd al-Nasser : [...] Will the reactionary rulers of Saudi Arabia manage
to break the legitimate hopes and enthusiastic dreams burning in the hearts of
thousands of young people of the Arabian Peninsula? Never! The reactionary
Saudi leaders will never be able to achieve this. […]

June 23, 1966

Gamal Abd al-Nasser : [...] We observed during the past year a total
cooperation between Arab reactionary leaders and colonizing forces. There is a
clear cooperation and solidarity between them directed against Arab nationalism
and Arab revolutionary and liberation movements.

Suspicious arms contracts are concluded and they are directed against the Arabs
and not against enemies of the Arabs. The proof is that the weapons supplied to
the Arabs are the same as those provided to the enemies of the Arabs. Those who
arm Israel are the same who arm Saudi Arabia and the reactionary states in the
region.

You have read the information published yesterday on the agreement between
Saudi Arabia and Britain, according to which Britain will provide them with
British planes. And of course, in Saudi Arabia, there are US military bases and
British military bases. [...]

June 26, 1966

Gamal Abd al-Nasser : [...] I do not imagine for one second that the
Saudi kingdom will ever fight in Palestine, with American and British bases on
its soil. Saudi Arabia should first of all free itself of US military bases and
British bases. Only then could they head towards the Liberation of Palestine.
[...]

December 23, 1963

Gamal Abd al-Nasser : [...] (Anti-Saudi outbursts in the audience)
We have already spoken of Saud and we know their story from beginning to end.
And ... you know .... It's a sin to mangle the dead. [...]

[Let us now see the new President Sissi, presented by the servile Egyptian
media as Nasser reborn, bowing to the Saudi king, Saud al-Faisal, Bandar (Bush)
Bin Sultan, etc.]

King Fahd: Welcome, welcome President. How are you? Well I hope. May God
preserve you and give you long life!
